Notes About The Poem

Walk With Me Tonight

Will Thee walk with me tonight ?
Amongst the spirits of Twilight
Gothic verse we wilt recite
I wilt gage not to bite

Wilt thee with me slowly dance ? 
As we descend into lover’s trance
With thy charm thee doth enchant
Speak thy wishes
For thee I’ll grant 

Both frozen in the midst of time
Our soulless bodies wilt entwine
Flush lips of blood sip scarlet wine
On those lips I yearn to dine

Permit my domination, let reality depart 
Allow me to enter thy beauteous blackened heart
I implore thee anon, mine beauty of dusk
Within is a hunger, replete with lust

Cometh let us now abscond
Dip our toes in reaper’s pond
Milk the moon so we may swim
Filling it’s juices to the brim

Bathe with me in lacteous splendour
Mine hands around thy waist so slender 
Our bodies melt to form a bond
And as we fuse I doth respond 

So bid me now to take thy hand
And lead thee to a world so grand 
We will liveth still into this night 
Eternally dancing beneath spellbinding moonlight

Sensual, dark and very appealing. Your word choices give your poem a feel of gothic fantasy. Is it inspired by the movie?

Thank you so much James :-) By the music from the movie as I had it on whilst I was writing x

Elaine, Oh you Shakespearean time traveler. With so rapture'd write of lover's touch. ") "I implore thee anon, mine beauty of dusk Within is a hunger, replete with lust".. "The lady doth protest too much". Very intriguing write, right for the season. -Shakespeare & Elaine
